Obama barks at climate protesters: ‘You’re interrupting me’

A pro-climate change protester interrupted President Obama’s speech on manmade climate change Wednesday, prompting Obama to complain that he was being interrupted.

“I gotcha. Okay. I got you. Thank you. That’s a great banner,” the president said, trying to appease a young woman chanting from a crowd. The protest brought his comments at the Lake Tahoe Summit in Nevada to a full stop for a few moments, and also raised Obama’s hackles a bit.

“I’m about to talk about it though,” Obama said to the protesters, who were trying to shout over him. “So, you’re interrupting me.”

Climate activists have been protesting the administration for moving forward with oil and gas leases, despite the president’s many regulations and support for an international treaty to stop global warming.

“I was going to talk about climate change and why it’s so important,” the president said once they began to quiet down. It wasn’t clear if security was called to usher them out.

Once he got back to making his point, he said it isn’t hearsay that climate change is occurring and that it is manmade.

” he said it isn’t hearsay that climate change is occurring and that it is manmade.”
Yet he brings no evidence for his case. The judge will have to rule against his argument if it remains as his testimony is in fact hearsay.
In God We Trust-all others bring data—He has none to site.

Isn’t climate change always occurring ? So what is he saying exactly… humans are now causing climate change but over the last 4.5 billion years it didn’t occur . Now that is a DENIER statement .
Unbelievable .
Is he claiming humans have now taken over climate change because of a trace gas (CO2 ) that is essential to growing plants ? Let’s see now… what might have more effect stop driving Volvos or turn off the Sun ?
This has to be a misquote. If not the world is in far greater danger than a bit of warming which in fact is more positive than negative despite scary claims of the earth has a fever promoters .
When does the broader scientific community quit cowering and set the record straight
before their credibility gets shredded by people who point the finger at scientists
while promoting the overblown global warming fraud ? Yes climate changes yes humans must have an impact (good and bad ) but why not try and solve some real environmental and social issues instead of wasting it on a $$Trillion dollar sting operation .

If left wing pinko Saunders doesn’t like him he sounds like he has potential .
He looks like a guy with a bit of backbone and won’t be bullied by the Demo rat
whiners who have infiltrated the EPA .
Good luck Mr. Pruitt . …. hire security . When the looney tunes get desperate( and they are ) they go into ugly mode . Taking apart their $Trillion dollar con game is going to get them down right belligerent but who cares ? They did get about 1 % of the vote
after all . In other words the science fiction is settled in the minds of voters by about
99 % . The debate is over in their hot air world .
Drain away Mr. Pruitt the public backs you despite the shrill sound of whiners who just had their piggy bank broken .

The NASA data manipulators collectively don’t have an IQ over 38 . Bullshit merchants about to be out on their ass . Maybe Britain would like to hire NASA rejects .
Where oh where are Dicaprio and Gore going to get their alarmist propaganda ?
When is the much vaunted IPCC report coming out ? That’s right NEVER .
The jig is up they were played as useful idiots and are no longer required .
Did the IPCC hot pants smut writer ever beat those sexual harassment allegations ? Quality right through the organization .

Why would virtually no change to Antarctic ice in over 100 years be a surprise at all .
Whether it’s minus – 60 or minus – 58 certainly we know it is fricking cold and it is not about to thaw . Throw a few volcanos open below the surface and a part of it might
but if that is considered caused by climate change the science fiction is bigger than
we know .
The question is how much will the Antarctic grow by over the next 1000 years ?

I’m willing to consider your argument, but I’m disturbed of your willing to give credence to the unproven and unfoundedly assumed presumption that CO2, CH4, and any other gasses that the extremist left hates are upon their dictum alone the mythical GREENHOUSE GASSES as they define them to be.

I ask you not to buy into their argument without the proof that they have never had.
They have always had conjecture, lies and hysteria and even a low percentage of consensus ( as if that means anything ).
But they have NEVER had proof of their mythical GREENHOUSE EFFECT ( as defined by the extremist left ).
